Xu Meiting was startled and got up to follow the direction her best friend pointed.
The moment you discover the I Ching, you must rush over immediately.
But soon she saw Zhao Yiyi and the woman holding her, and subconsciously sat down again, her expression uncertain.
"Well, Zhou Yi! So you've already found a slut to remarry!"
Due to the obstructed view, she did not see Gong Yan's face.
But it's clear that Gong Yan's beauty is no less than hers.
The men dining nearby stared wide-eyed.
That figure, with its slender, serpentine waist, and curves, was even more exaggerated than hers.
The boy sitting next to him clicked his tongue and said, "I wonder who those people are, that Director Qi of the Municipal Bureau personally greeted them."
"Which Director Qi?" Liao Xiaochai asked in surprise.
The boy pointed to Zhou Yi and his group, "That middle-aged man in the polo shirt, the director of the Demon City Security Bureau, my dad and I had the pleasure of meeting him at a party."
Liao Xiaochai's delicate body trembled.
The director of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau is a department-level official; she usually only sees such people on television.
Now, a department-level official is actually guiding Xu Meiting's ex-husband.
Xu Meiting could no longer sit still and quickly walked over.
Just as they were about to get there, they were stopped by a waiter.
"Miss, the second floor is for VIP rooms, you can't go up there."
“I’m a friend of those people in front,” Xu Meiting hurriedly pointed to Zhou Yi.
But Zhou Yi and the others had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
"Why don't you have your friend come down to pick you up? Or tell our manager, Mr. Gao?" the waiter said politely.
God knows if what this woman said is true.
Xu Meiting stomped her foot and took out her phone, but the next second she remembered that she didn't have Zhou Yi's contact information.
He had no choice but to return to his seat dejectedly.
"How is it? How is it?" Liao Xiaochai asked hurriedly.
Xu Meiting said with a gloomy face, "We can't get up there."
The boy at the table asked in surprise, "You want to go up to the second floor? Even if you have money, you might not be able to go up there. The private rooms up there are reserved for big shots."
Xu Meiting gritted her teeth.
You bastard Zhou Yi! Why didn't you say so earlier? What are you pretending to be? Have you seen too many stories of rich kids hiding their identities and pretending to be poor?
Liao Xiaochai's eyes flickered.
This best friend of mine is really out of her mind.
How could someone be willing to divorce such a husband?
If it were me, I wouldn't leave even if I had to lick his heels.
Since you can't handle it, then let me do it!
"Rice cooker, can you come up?" Liao Xiaochai asked.
The boy chuckled and said, "If I had that kind of skill, would I still be dining in the lobby?"
Liao Xiaocha pouted.
Although this guy gave her a lot of equipment in the game, it was still far from being a top-tier second-generation character, and it wasn't her cup of tea.
Inside the private room.
Zhou Yi and his stepdaughter indulged in a feast.
Gong Yan, on the other hand, appeared much more elegant.
He chewed slowly and carefully, occasionally taking out a tissue to wipe Xiao Yiyi's mouth.
"This little girl is so cute! What's your name?" Gao Xiaofang, who was accompanying her, smiled sweetly.
Zhao Yiyi said in a childish voice, "My name is Zhao Yiyi!"
Surname Zhao? Gao Xiaofang was taken aback, but quickly realized that she probably took her mother's surname.
Director Qi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was trying to figure out Zhou Yi's identity.
Judging from the demeanor of Zhou Yi and Gong Yan, they don't seem to be lovers.
Having cracked down on countless prostitution cases, he could naturally spot the ins and outs of relationships between men and women at a glance.
Normally, once a man and a woman have a relationship, no matter how well they try to hide it, there will always be a hint of ambiguity that is unintentionally revealed.
But the way these two looked at each other didn't have any romantic feelings, yet there seemed to be a hint of regret for not being able to have each other.
"Where does Brother Zhou work?" Director Qi raised his glass to toast Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi also picked up his wine glass and clinked it against the glass from afar, saying, "Under my sister-in-law's command."
Gong Yan rolled her eyes at him, saying he was just talking nonsense.
Director Qi's spirits trembled slightly.
Gong Yan's brother-in-law?
How come I've never heard of such a person in the Xu family?
No, his surname is Zhou, not Xu, and he's not a member of the Xu family.
Could it be a collateral branch of the Xu family?
However, a collateral branch of the family would certainly not be valued so highly by the young mistress of the Xu family.
Moreover, Gong Yan is the second young lady of the Gong family in the capital.
With her proud and arrogant nature, she would never be interested in an ordinary person.
This was Director Qi's intuition, stemming from his long tenure in a high position.
He became even more enthusiastic.
Bureau 749 is an extremely special department; this young man has a bright future ahead of him!
"If Xiao Zhou encounters any trouble in the Demon City in the future, feel free to contact me anytime. As long as it's not illegal or disorderly conduct, I can completely help you sort it out..."
Zhou Yi smiled and thanked him.
If he were still a refugee, he might be overjoyed.
But right now, it's still uncertain who will help whom.
The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Zhao Yiyi led the way with cheerful steps.
As she turned a corner, she suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.
"Yiyi! Come here and give Mommy a hug!"
A woman walked up to her and squatted down.
The bodyguards sitting next to her, who were having a meal, almost took her down.
Fortunately, upon hearing the word "Mom," he realized the woman meant no harm and stopped what he was doing.
"Yiyi, don't you remember your mother? Your mother misses you so much!" Xu Meiting stretched out her hand, a warm smile on her face.
"I don't know you!" Zhao Yiyi suddenly pushed her away, turned around and ran behind Zhou Yi, hugging Zhou Yi's leg.
Xu Meiting stumbled from the push, her anger rising rapidly.
You good-for-nothing! I'm your own mother!
She saw Zhou Yi looking down at her.
His anger flared even more, and he stood up angrily, shouting, "Zhou Yi, how did you raise your daughter?!"
